Various - Batsi Son
Review by Mandy Raasch
Batsi Son by Various is an outstanding collection of African music that showcases the rich cultural heritage of the continent. The album features a diverse range of traditional and modern African rhythms that are sure to captivate the listener's attention.
The album begins with the upbeat track "Batsi Son" which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features a catchy melody and infectious rhythm that will have listeners dancing along in no time.
Other standout tracks include "Makossa," a modern take on the traditional Cameroonian dance music, and "Mbube," a classic South African song that has been covered by many artists over the years.
The album also features a number of collaborations between African and Western musicians, including the track "Africa Calling" which features the vocals of British singer-songwriter Paul Simon.
